One flashing red light at the intersection of a US and a State highway.
I rarely have to stop for more than one or two vehicles in line.

I live on the county line, and the county that I reside in has a town of about 35,000. It has a number of stoplights. The other county has only one stoplight in the entire county.

........ No roundabouts either. Main intersection at the town closest to use has a flashing caution light at the 4 way stop. We've got lots of roundabouts here..... 'roundabout 1993 I moved away. 'roundabout 2000 I moved back. 'roundabout the time I moved back I started building fences. I figure I'll be finished building/rebuilding fences 'roundabout the time I die. ...lots more 'roundabouts besides those.

I'm not aware of a single stop and go light in Ozark County Missouri. We do have a few stop signs. Now, in Houston? I have about 30 between my house and office...13 miles.

When I started driving we had eight in the county. All in towns. Now we have around 22. Spread out. I have to go through 3 to get to work. It sucks.
This place is getting way too crowded.

No stop lights in a two county area. Elk County, KS., has a population of less than 5 per sq. mile. We have 10 people living in a 50 sq mile radius of our home.

On the subject of stop lights - remember the days when they were timed so that when one set changed to red, the other set immediately changed to green?

There is only 4 1/2 that I know of in Union Parish, La. I made a mistake, we have 4 1/4 stop lights in our parish. I went by one of the intersections the other day and where there use to be 1 stop light, now there are 8.... 2 facing each direction of the intersection, so now the parish has 6 stop lights. But the 2 new lights do not signal traffic in our parish.
